video. she's mine. and. the crisis of the quake hit fukushima plant in japan reports a partial nuclear is on the way. this is true noble on steroids this is this will be worse than triple. despite japanese authorities claiming the radiation level poses no imminent threat to health the country's track record of covering up paul's nuclear problems challenges the official version of events. the city be i'll be taking everything in front of it was probably you know it's nice to meet up with the major consisting of inclusiveness confusion mitchie full.

intervention and violence won't be necessary but the rebels will be handled by my supporters have a town which there are ninety. three talks exclusively to all t.v. about how he sees the current situation in libya and the international reaction to the events that. night from our studios here in central moscow this is with the twenty four hours a day ten pm now in the russian capital one just past ten pm and just past four am in japan where the country is struggling to control the reactors damaged by the disastrous earthquake has radiation levels continue to rise and a partial meltdown of nuclear fuel is feared into facilities at the fukushima plant workers were drawn to the danger of exposure. also so plans to drop water from

helicopters abandoned and all seize on the bennett who's in the region says the radioactive threat is causing many people to flee. there's a bubbling undercurrent of anxiety and fear and it's a different kind of fear now because with the tsunami and the earthquake they can see and hear the threats this the radiation they can't see smell it it's an invisible enemy so now it's a different kind of threat is this morning i've spoken to a young japanese couple with just a ten day old newly born henri and they are actually from sendai i know in sendai when the earthquake struck they haven't been able to move until now this is not it was two weeks but now they head into tokyo as fast as they can and this is just another more evidence of people who don't trust the government don't trust the ice that the radiation isn't spreading into a greater area outside. the skew people if a kilometer long they're trying to stockpile what food is left in sendai most

shelves are empty now. the people here are getting ready to hide fearing an invisible killer radiation explosions at the fukushima daiichi power plant could the country on the cusp of nuclear meltdown one damage to react without a casing and a final two reactors have now lost cooling capability to radiation levels pinkney the plants at four hundred times the amount normally absorbed in a year their fear is it will spread across the country residents prepare to go to ground for a nice cruise a fleeing the steam from the zealand is heading finnigan's in. a flight from there it's a sucker in tokyo are already fully booked for the next two days the exodus has begun here on the west coast. of the country. some though have no words around it this was once

a village those who lived here are returning to find there's simply nothing left the devastation just goes on and on. more than half a million people have been left homeless their belongings swallowed up and spat out by the tsunami relief workers are searching for survivors all along japan's ravaged coast what's now see if they break fifteen thousand they're already been rescued but over seven thousand still missing and some parts haven't even been reached yet of a chill and a half thousand relief centers are still packed and will be for several weeks it's cold and uncomfortable but this is one of the few places these people can get food and shelter huge parts of the country have been completely wiped out of the threat of nuclear meltdown means they could still be more to come. oxman it's. week after chip. what do you think the plan is struggling to get the nuclear situation under control while you can join the heated debate of facebook page there are asking

county authorities to do more and more i can't the high tech country like japan find a way to cool those reactors and set of facebook account just into our team uses one word page also has the latest videos analysis and news on the situation as well as all our other top stories that's there on facebook. the french government has accused japanese authorities of hiding the true extent of the crisis at their damaged nuclear plant even as levels of radiation in tokyo rallies and in a disco who's now in the capital reports of the country's long history of silencing uclear scandals. very nice and it's only just about one hundred kilometers north of tokyo is about three hundred hives the norm in the japanese people itself radiation levels already vowed never times as high people are being told by the government that the current radiation levels are at an exceptional rate do not pose a danger to help however the evidence shows as history shows the japanese

government has exactly proven to be always so always always trustworthy and everything that it does say work which forth to the public should actually be checked if there is a report end up with reactors at the fukushima nuclear power plant having gone up in smoke fears about a possible meltdown loom large japanese authorities give assurances there is no imminent threat to tokyo residents but past seven suggests they're not to be trusted completely over many years the nuclear industry and the regulators in japan but also in every society every country don't reach nuclear power you find consistently that there's a lack of transparency a lack of openness maybe they just think i think we can but that's too much information why should we comply to information in fact just five years ago the plants are greater tokyo electric power company or tepco admitted to falsifying

temperature readings for cooling materials at fukushima as early as in one nine hundred eighty five and with the country now facing a major disaster the government will be careful in choosing its words. i think what they have been in. the job is going. through trial and error but also their example to other countries and other nations all starts in two thousand to the government disclosed that at least twenty nine cases of damage to the reactor had been swept under the carpet that incident led to because presidents and some senior officials to quit in scandal in two thousand and three seventeen ted cooperated plants were ordered to be shut down again because the operator lied about what was happening at these sites so when the japanese officials put on a somber face but give assurances everything's fine not everyone's convinced

particularly when the country's already got enough other problems to deal with if you don't have the emergency resources if your input structure has been destroyed and the further you go away from the reactor the more difficult the more diverse the population settlements are the more difficult it is to have after you don't want the panic we're probably to get them to so for evacuate i may be on within we put themselves in harm's way but when thousands of lives are on the line such a policy can easily be counterproductive there's a growing distrust among people injured and that information that we're receiving is not in the morning us to the extent we would like it to when it doesn't produce an iq it just makes people all the more uncertain when he can't trust for the information. as it stands a pair appears to be balancing on the brink of a nuclear meltdown and though the official version of the events implores everyone to stay calm history shows not all their words could be taken at face value in

tokyo it even goes r.t. and energy adviser arnold can listen told me earlier that the japanese nuclear crisis could have disastrous consequences. this is true noble on steroids this is this will be worse than sure nobody the radiation exposure so high in sight and i don't think human beings can get into the areas that need to be accessed in order to put the fire to put fires out and also to get water into the locations where the heat is the highest if there's any lucky thing that's happened so far it's the wind is mainly blowing out to sea if the wind turns to the to the south i expect you will see radiation in tokyo i don't believe it will be enough to evacuate tokyo but i think it would be prudent to take proportions and you know try to stay out stay out of the plume the only asiatic region they're already beginning to reroute

airlines because they're afraid of the radiation landing on the airplane and you know of a plane from from tokyo to moscow for instance will fly through that plume so it's it will definitely begin to affect asiatic travel i don't think the government is lying i do think the government is not telling them everything it knows you know i study in chernobyl and i was an expert witness on three mile island and the government is always behind the eight ball on these things they are deliberately trying to downplay the amount of radiation being released you know we saw it in the gulf of mexico to it the oil spill they underestimated the amount of oil that seems to be the way bureaucracies were the international atomic energy commission estimated five percent of the corps had failed in fact seventy percent so these guys have come in with low ball estimates for quite a few days now. and then to me while founder and chief editor of online magazine

the daily bell north cohen told me earlier that the international atomic energy agency is simply not designed to be in control of anything. the i.a.e.a. is a promoter of nuclear power. the i.a.e.a. is not any more efficient at solving this problem than fema was solving hurricane katrina's problems in the u.s. these organizations exist primarily for the purposes of aiding in assisting multinational corporations to provide their solutions to developing and advancing nations who are or are sold on the nuclear power solution that's what we're dealing with throughout the entire world with the i.a.e.a. as well as a promoter of nuclear power whose job is not to necessarily be able to come to the rescue of failed attempts at maintaining quality design in and protecting the public from natural disasters such as we're dealing with here although they'll sell that message when that's when the proof when the proof is in the putting you can clearly see that the i.a.e.a. has absolutely no ability to deal with this problem any more than the japanese

government has the ability to deal with this problem and at the end of the day it's the people of japan who have a right to be panicked and they should be questioning the information they're receiving from their government and they should certainly not be sitting back and believing that the government has just under control because it's quite evident that they and the i.a.e.a. do not. when all the latest on the economic off the mouth of the earthquake and the nuclear crisis in japan in business program that's coming away a little later japanese stocks of rebound sharply after two days of heavy losses that other sectors of the japanese economy continue to suffer. that it's not a more on this in our business something that. in russia are all eyes are on the country's far east in connection with the nuclear crisis at the fukushima power plant the region borders japan and many in the city have a lot of oil stock which is about five hundred miles away from for fear it could be affected by a radioactive cloud and although authorities are sure the threat is existence of

the moment a growing number of people are taking serious precautions so if he could discover. the concentration of radiation in russia's far is remains normal that's according to russia's main why the agency now there is no immediate threats to his paws of russia first of all because of favorable weather conditions a potential radioactive cloud current would go straight out into the pacific ocean away from russia that is if the wind doesn't change direction off through radiation levels spiked at fukushima daiichi nuclear plant at seventeen are what their stations across russia's far is have been constantly carrying out checks we're now in the city i believe also but is russia's largest port city on the pacific ocean this city is only five hundred seventy miles away from local residents are taking new chances. on top of official reports are also mourning radiation levels on the

road the current situation prompts me to go ahead and take their safety in their own hands that's why i'm buying these counts to watch. today's edition of the largest local newspaper also right. has gripped russia spar is just fortune tellers and tickets are in high demand. for the latter we left. on wednesday morning and there was a flight leaving for most about it was over books by some hostages which. also is the paper reports. you know died has been sold out at pharmacies across the city obligate the cheapest guy to condor costs as much as seven hundred dollars but especially say it's not enough just. he also needs to be taught how to use the. next phrase it's also has an additional raising detection the biggest problem in

japan right now is the radiation dust in the air with. the level of radiation when you come from. unclean right now. we have also managed to get our hands on. any geiger counter. it is the one in which for example russia is a margin says ministry equipped cars. in the studio in the city sector radiation levels stand between twelve to thirteen microns per hour within a lawless. area. setting up some thirty five mile per hour so not yet critical but feel the reading is higher than on the island for example. and. experiences from russia's far east on our twitter account underscore. radiation. from the closest russian region to japan. which is

a safe. and of course the program will be for you all the nations from the crisis stricken region with our correspondents working to keep you updated twenty four. well let's turn our attention now to libya where forces north of colonel gadhafi are closing in on the rebel stronghold of benghazi but given himself as a major intervention will be necessary because his supporters there will help him he spoke exclusively to r.t. and we'll bring you that interview in full a little later but first here's a preview. intervention and violence won't be necessary ending gauzy the rebels there will be handled by my supporters in the town of which there are many the world begins to understand that it has made a mistake and in reality what is happening in libya is different from what happened in egypt the foreign media have been showing terrifying reports which have nothing

to do with reality that's why some of my supporters an ambassador resigned during the early days of the protests i would use to myself if i saw reports that people were killed in my country we don't trust the west anymore. and i will bring that interview in full a little later in the program stay with us for that exclusive interview. reports now on. trying to come to terms with the situation they wanted to avoid. the situation on the ground is very much turning into dust his favor his troops are now advancing towards the people stronghold of benghazi in the east the government say that it will head to fifty they will in the days and gadhafi himself again appeared on state television saying that if this is a lots of people crush it if it is domestic such we will crush it resistance inside because we have either we live to the egyptian border others are holed up in their

homes here in the knesset on stilts by gadhafi forces here in city government officials have said that the town of as jabir which is some one hundred sixty kilometers away from think ozzy is the last major rebel stronghold of benghazi officials just saying that this town to me in the hands of the toughest names on the international stage the second day of the united nations security council is going to discuss what's libya they are debating eight cards basically which is essentially giving the disgust paragraph by paragraph you know the system which basically should have been put. so you would find even on it is with the same thing the i would be it increases in no fly zones because he placed that what is complex in council members is that the everybody who says they must be no foreign intervention and at the same time every country has come forward to be out of such a mission the because of the decision is being opposed by pushing and france if you

look see the sanctions to be slapped on the gadhafi regime and this seems to have lost the city more people from the international community than the idea of an aside so since he is asking for individuals and entities to have travel bans post on them and also the assets frozen increasingly it does seem as if there is a schism in the international community with funds being the first shooting recognize the opposition as the official voice of libya the question is being asked whether or not other countries will fund it if indeed they do. it that is divided over the question of libya at the same time other questions being asked is why is the international community even today even discussing the whole notion of a no fly zone when the g eight foreign ministers were kicked to this city it doesn't seem as if there is a civil war happening here in libya and certainly with gadhafi is many gaining the means some on the grounds. of civil war is likely to take place.

of international relations at university in turkey. western states. having. been best. on the other hand pushing ahead with military operations recently were impressed news without actually knowing for home ground what kind of regime the system of government and state place where we've why aren't able to resist or people who support for bo included who are also. very risk and. psychological pressures are crimes the common person or not one can order decisive factor one risk their conversation to another or the other problem for the west is

the order is important nobody would not have acted in concert the world economy rocked the counted out his regime is facing. at all surprised western europe italy and probably who made our season of completely. national right and. we could see enormous as well as the continuing. meanwhile the unrest is spreading further in the arab world empower rain at least six people being killed and hundreds willing to it is right police attacked antigovernment protests calling for political reforms and equal rights for the majority shiites the bahraini king the can a three month state of emergency to deal with protests which have rocks the country for over thirty days on forces from saudi arabia and united arab emirates city in the state to help counter the protest movement well in the next hour t's crossed to cancel discussion program and debate the prospects of a democratic middle east and the possible role of the international community.

people are free to pick whatever form of government they want muslims or islam is going to have that kind of government and objectively speaking that seems fair but that's why i'm saying the west needs understand if people get what they want which is the other speaker was saying would be a caliphate these things are very much. odds with the ok with the concept of united nations for example let me go ahead jump in i know i disagree first of course but everybody in tunisia in egypt and in the have not been islamist at all and they don't have any an islamist nature there the majority of the arabs are most member their view since have not been islamist i agree with that by the way i truly i would not say that all those are the way we have been the word within the hour it is a mystery that ok tragedy. i think the. people in the west face is simply to say look at this law because the regime is intolerable well the lesson is to keep out of

things that supported dictators for the last thirty years they are in no position western governments are in no position to try to tell the muslim world what you have. to keep the. cost of all coming your way later here in r.t. i'll be back with a look at the headlines in just over ten years from now but first let's get the latest business news with dmitri. i don't welcome to business out so you could have your company japanese stocks did rebound sharply on wednesday after two days of heavy losses have more on that in just a moment however other sectors of the japanese economy continue to suffer in the aftermath of the disaster consumers in japan are emptying store shelves in the fear of lack of distribution of food water and other goods many companies still have production suspended as the power supply remains critical in the country is energy

commissioner did say that japan's fukushima damaged reactors are quote out of control and that could lead to catastrophic events within several hours meanwhile japan's nuclear crisis a strain from concerns on the safety of similar objects around the world germany has temporarily shut down seven of its oldest or nuclear plants adding it should abandon nuclear power then for sea where as switzerland as the suspended the approval process for new nuclear power stations. and. freezing nuclear programs for example in germany may in fact nuclear fuel supply line from other countries including russia and a constable refusal from bulgaria and the czech republic to build new nuclear stations will eat russian attention and struction markets but the current decisions have been influenced by public opinion and countries will primarily be concentrating on safety measures and existing power plants. leaving markets now we

start with asia traditionally japanese shares ever rebounded sharply on wednesday after two consecutive days of decline this week the nikkei index finishing five point seven percent in the black bank of japan the health confidence by pumping another forty three billion dollars into the financial markets but cash injection in three days by the bank and in total it has allocated two hundred eighty four billion dollars to the crisis on tanks saying also ended up point one per cent. to the. knighted states markets and they're shrugging off japan's worries with a lack of information on what's actually happening and what to expect causing investors to run for cash the dow jones is down one hospice it used to be about two point three last hour in russia the r t s m i six actually managed to pull off some gains as he has often said my six point three percent but of course worse than the beginning of the session it's a look at some of the stocks now there's

a tug of war between sad news from japan and pushing world markets to know about the situation in libya and raise. prices with ongoing uncertainty over world crude oil supplies out of the region will snap their four point nine percent lukoil point four percent of the u.k. on the investment wraps up investor sentiment today. but we are seeing the days at the markets are not pricing in the worst case scenario the development of france and japan clearly japan is just making up for some of the losses which we've seen in the last couple of days there hasn't been any positive evidence for an upturn in the situation we think that in the medium term japan will have to reduce the use of nuclear sources of energy and this is positive for the gas production for russia as well for production as well big flipside of the coin is that the iranian prices have literally collapsed over the last couple of days this might be short lived as well however we know that the consumption of uranium is likely to the crease go forward russia's government has reconfirmed its plans to sell

a part of its controlling stake in the country's largest back door to its hope to sell a seven point six percent stake in burbank in the second half of this year however the minister of economic development did say the privatization of the state run bank was very likely to happen this year yet a first deputy prime minister reiterated the government's commitment to sell off at stake in twenty seven sure market conditions for the big. no. it's not conditions are favorable this year we could offer investors stocks we will not rush the sale and we will try to do it as additionally as we did in the case of the t. b. the stocks will be sold once the market environment is encouraging but we will do our best not to deliver this process. turkey has yet to give russia permission to start construction on the south street gas pipeline project over its territory that's according to death the prime minister said. turkey's delegation headed by the prime
